“A vase, like a building, like a body, has two spaces – the one that it contains and the one that surrounds it. When we begin asana, we worry about the shape of the pose, that is how we look … the space we exclude. By now we should be about the space we *include*, the space within, for it is largely that which gives true life and beauty to the asana… yoga svarupa… That is achieved through the inner distribution of space. Essentially that is how yogasana becomes effortless, with the natural beauty of molten gold being poured from a vat. To reach the Infinite, we have to use finite means.” - BKS Iyengar Pg 203-204 #lightonlife 💛💛💛 What an honor to be be illustrated by you @svenjakarstens (!!) in this beautiful asana calendar you’ve created with such love and care.
